RE: Classic+1 Swap Battle Tournament (fights)
You mean the worst player is not favored to win? what a surprise
In cross, 3rd/4th in skill level both would score below 5th. The losers of the respective 1/2 and 3/4 pair end up scoring much lower than their skill level suggests, mostly because they never get to match up against 5th: 1/2/5/3/6/7/4/8. Why would you even use the "even if they manage to beat X they have to fight 3rd best", at that position in the loser's bracket (1 win) anyone there is at 2nd-4th.
Despite my skepticism that this is a good idea, because it seems like 3rd and 4th place will get screwed over, I'll do it if there aren't any other objections from others.
